FT70G

    The Yaesu FT-70G is a very rugged HF-SSB QRP tranceiver with a self-
    contained Ni-Cd battery. This modification restores operation on 160
    meters and improves receiver sensitivity between 50 KHz and 2MHz.
    (It enables transmit operation between 1 and 2 MHz, but 2nd harmonic
    attenuation will be very poor if used below 1.5 MHz.) The boards
    are stenciled for the added parts, but this is no "clip the diode"
    modification:

    Low Pass Filter (LPF) Unit:

    Add RL601 SPDT relay, 12Vdc (Yaesu p/n M1190066) I substituted a
               Radio Shack 275-241 with little trouble. See note.

     "  L602   26T of #26 enameled on Amidon T37-2 iron powder torroid

     Note: The R/S relay has 2 pins connected to the wiper arm. Connect
           only one to the non-grounded circuit board trace. The 2nd pin
           on the Yaesu relay is a dummy pin and is soldered to the
           board's ground plane for mechanical stability only.

    RF/IF Unit:

    Replace R25 with a 470pF ceramic capacitor

    Reg/Cntrl Unit:
